Falling In Love with Portraiture (Again)
At the heart of everything I do, my passion for working with and capturing people is always at the core. Whether it’s looking through the lens of the absence of people in my travel work or capture the joy’s of day to day in my lifestyle images, people are always the anchor that tells the story in my work.
Corridors
I have recently been collating photographs of corridors, because I realised I cannot stop taking them. I am not sure why this has become a fascination, but it has. I thought it started a year ago, but as I’ve been combing through my archives I have found more and more evidence that in fact I have always been subconsciously obsessed with corridors.
Sports x Theatre BTS
Some behind the scene shots from this gorgeous day exploring Westminster Chapel with Peerspace and a killer set of creatives.
A Year in Australia
A visual diary of the experience of moving somewhere far from home and never quite figuring out what it takes to fit in.
A Study of Xanthe
A collaborative project exploring what empowerment means in a physical sense. Presented in Diptychs.
11:10
Inspired by Porcelain Dolls, this editorial explores our relationship to mother nature and the memories of our childhoods.
Casa Museo
An intimate look into my family history. Not many people are lucky enough to have a family member that keeps a house full of memories, but I am. Here is what it looks like: diaries belonging to my Abuelo, furniture that has been around for generations, photographs taken by me all gently curated by my Tío, in the house my Tita was born in.
Cancer Council Australia
Recent commercial work for CCA to showcase their range of suncare.
Drifting Away
I grew up by the sea, so when I am happy or scared or sad my instinct is to head to a body of water. I have spent many hours staring into waves hoping for an answer, and yet it had been many years since I’d shot in the sea. This editorial felt a lot like coming home, and connecting with nature again.
Nature’s Pause
An exploration of our relationship as city dwellers with the natural landscape. Shot under the Bolte Bridge, a huge concrete structure surrounded by green space. Using items (and family members) usually found inside, we explored what it means to live in the modern city.
The Backyard
When I moved to Australia at the start of a very hot summer, I knew 1 person there and had nothing but hope in my back pocket. I’d moved on a bit of a whim, with the knowledge that photography can be practiced anywhere and where better to go than somewhere which a huge amount of natural light, right? I’d spent the past few years of my career almost consistently inside a studio and I was craving the freedom of being outside. As it happens, I was correct that you can transfer a photography career across the globe quite easily, and I was lucky to pick up some incredible clients early on. I also was very lucky to be staying with some wonderful people who became fast friends, and allowed me to set up strange editorials in their backyard while they were at work. In fact, they loved my fascination with their lemon trees and my insistence of being outside as much as humanly possible.
Upcircle Beauty
A selection of some of my favourite images shot for the wonderful UpCircle Beauty, a brand I not only love working with but love using too. I am deeply passionate about sustainability so it is always a pleasure to create with a brand that is so aligned with my own ethos.
An Alternative Approach To Bridal
When a make up artist friend of mine asked if I fancied doing something a little more interesting with the bridal make up she’d been doing a lot recently, I jumped at the chance. Bridal is not something I’d explored much, but I love anything that involves excess fabric and lots of accessorising. We got together a stellar group of artists, and collaborated with an up and coming designer to shoot an elevated version of what Bridal could look like if you take a bit of a risk.
STORIES FROM THE ROAD: CANADA & EASTERN USA
I could write 100 stories from this trip, but perhaps the most interesting, morbid & surreal is the journey to find my grandparents gravestone.
STORIES FROM THE ROAD: LECH
I wish I was a skier. I am not unable to ski from lack of trying, I am in fact too uncoordinated to successfully glide through snow and not hurt myself. A long time ago I realised I was much better suited to sitting on the sidelines and capturing the adventures of my friends, as multiple broken bones was not in the plan for my life this decade. I adore winter sports, and have spent hours of my life watching people hurl themselves down hills. I love the snow, I love how it feels, I love how it looks. I think shooting in the snow is perhaps my absolute favourite condition, even with all it’s lighting issues, health hazards and general difficulties. If I could spent all year atop a mountain I think I’d surely be happy. Here is the accumulation of a week in Lech, at minus 15 with some very brave people.
BEAUTY BAY CAMPAIGNS
A selection of images from my time working on various campaigns, editorials and website assets for house of brands Beauty Bay.
ENDO
An ongoing project that started during a period of struggling to connect with my body, after many years of failed attempts to manage the pain related to my Endometriosis. I find words are sometimes unable to trying express the inner turmoil of chronic pain, so set about visually representing how each symptom makes me feel.
Rags to Riches
A retro inspired editorial playing with the concept of living luxuriously when it’s alien to you.
STORIES FROM THE ROAD: Sanatorio Durán
I’ve always been an explorer at heart, and I’m most happy when I can wander with a camera and find new spaces or places that are different to my day to day. I think that’s why I feel the most inspired when I’m travelling for prolonged periods of time. Stories from the Road is a way of capturing those moments and keeping them safe, and also a chance for me to put into words what the experiences meant to me. We’re starting off with an old but loved venture into the abandoned halls of a Tuberculosis Sanatorium that can be found in Cartago, Costa Rica.
